Sobre el álbum
Tras el rotundo éxito del primer volumen, Michael Bolton regresó en 1999 con Timeless: The Classics, Vol. 2, una nueva colección de versiones que ampliaba el concepto de su predecesor. En esta ocasión, el artista diversificó aún más la selección, abarcando no solo clásicos del soul, sino también grandes temas del pop y del rock.
El álbum presenta una mezcla ecléctica y sumamente atractiva. Nos encontramos con sentidas interpretaciones de himnos del soul como "What's Going On" de Marvin Gaye. Sorprende con su versión de "Like a Rolling Stone" de Bob Dylan, llevándola a su terreno con una intensidad vocal arrolladora.
Además, el disco incluye una poderosa rendición de "Sexual Healing", que se convirtió en el sencillo principal y demostró, una vez más, su maestría para revivir clásicos. Gracias a una producción cuidada y a su inconfundible sello interpretativo, cada canción adquiere una nueva dimensión bajo su voz.
Este segundo volumen, aunque quizás no tuvo el impacto del primero, es un trabajo igualmente disfrutable y de gran calidad. Confirma a Michael Bolton como uno de los grandes intérpretes de su generación, un artista capaz de tender puentes entre diferentes géneros y épocas con su voz como nexo de unión.

- (What A) Wonderful World
Letra
Don't know much about history don't know much biology Don't know much about the science book Don't know much about the French I took. But I do know that I love you and I know that if you love me too - What a wonderful world this would be. Don't know much about geography don't know much trigonometry Don't know much about algebra don't know what a slide rule is for. But I do know one and one is two and if this one could be with you - What a wonderful world this would be. Now I don't claim to be an "A" student but I'm trying to be. For maybe by being an "A" student baby I can win your love for me. Don't know much about history don't know much biology History - biology - science book - French I took But I do know that I love you and I know that if you love me too - What a wonderful world this would be. - Like A Rolling Stone
Letra
Once upon a time you dressed so fine Threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you? People called said, ?Beware doll, you're bound to fall? But you thought they were all just kidding you You used to laugh about everybody that was hanging out And now you don't talk so loud Now you don't seem so proud About having to be scrounging for your next meal How does it feel? How does it feel? To be on your own, with no direction home Like a complete unknown, just like a rolling stone Oh, you never turned around to see the frowns On the jugglers and the clowns when they did their tricks for you You never understood it ain't no good Shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you, oh You used to ride on a chrome horse with a diplomat Carried on his shoulder, siamese cat Ain't it hard when you discovered that he really wasn't where it's at After he took from you everything he could steal How does it feel? How does it feel? To be on your own, with no direction home Like a complete unknown, just like a rolling stone Princess on the steeple, all the pretty people Drinking, thinking that they've got it made Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things Better lift your diamond ring, you better pawn it babe You used to be so amused Napoleon in rags and the language that he used Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to loose You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal How does it feel? How does it feel? To be on your own and no direction home Like a complete unknown, just like a rolling stone Just like a rolling stone (Oh, how does it feel?) Just like a rolling stone (Oh, how does it feel?) How does it feel? (Oh, how does it feel?) Rolling stone (Oh, how does it feel?) How does it feel? (Oh, how does it feel?) How does it feel? (Oh, how does it feel?) (Oh, how does it feel?) (Oh, how does it feel?) - I Can't Stand The Rain
